Camellia, Latin name Camellia, is an evergreen flowering plant from the Theaceae family, characterized by shrubby or tree-like growth. The majority of them originate from Southeast Asia, China and Japan. Camellias were named after the botanist and pharmacist George Joseph Kamel, who introduced them to Europe.
Camellia japonica Desire In the American Camellia Yearbook from 1977, on page 209, registry number 144 states that this camellia was created by David Feathers from Lafayette, California, and first bloomed in 1973. It is medium-sized, white-pink, edged with a deeper pink color and double-formed. The flower consists of 60 petals, measuring 10 to 10.5 centimeters in diameter and 5 centimeters in depth.

This type of camellia is resistant to cold temperatures down to approximately -10 or -15 degrees Celsius. The plant was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
